Charley White has made a host of
friends while training in Denver for
his fight with Stanley Yoakum to
morrow night and is a favorite, de
spite the fact that Yoakum is a native
of Colorado.
Yoakum is a good, tough miller,
able to deliver a heavy swat if he can
reach his opponent. Because of
White's cleverness it is doubtful if
he will.be able to set himself for this
haymaker, and he will find White's'
left popping into his face with regu
larity. Gunboat Smith will have a real test
in London tomorrow night when he
fights Georges Carpentier, the French
heavyweight champion. Smith has
done everything he was called on for
over here, but none of his opponents
have been quite up to the caliber of
the frog-eater.
One thing will hejp Smith Car
pentier is not a big man," and really
comes in the light heayy division. But
he is an able puncher and a good
tactician, and Smith must be as good
as he ever was in his life to gain the
verdict.
Both men have decisions over Bom
bardier Wells, the British punching
bag, and Carpentier has also been
knocked out by the Englishman. But
that was before he Had much experi
ence. There should be a knockout in this
fight, with chances of the two men
even. . J 'A

Cubs Due for Batting Revival Feds
Still Leading.
Of their last five games the Cubs
have lost four, and now are four and
a half games back of tha New York
Giants in the scramble for the Na
tional League pennant
What of it? After the spirited
spurt of the locals against the Cards,
Pirates and Reds, they were due to
slump to some extent It was not to
be expected that they would continue
at such a dizzy clip. Getting this
slump out of the system at the pres
ent time will not hurt if there is the
reaction that usually follows in base
ball.
All along the line of the Cubs there
